Review of Source Code

Source Code (2011)
7/10
Nicely put together from stolen bits
2 May 2011
A guy wakes up from slumber on a train. Startled to the bone - as he wasn't on the train in his previous memory - he quickly attempts to make sense of what is happening. Failing miserably at that he ends up in the biggest surprise of his life.

Films like this work best when there's little to no knowledge of what is going on before seeing them so I'm not going to say anything more about the story. Suffice it to say that it's a thriller in most senses and that it puts together the tag lines of various other films - in all the best ways. It's also biased towards science fiction - without the aliens - and again done in a good way.

It's no work of art and doesn't leave a mark on the mind, but it's a fun way of spending an hour and a half and well worth the cinema time - high speed, captivating story and nicely acted.
